Park high country. If it's a beautiful alpine lake amid glaciated granite, that's most likely it. Adams visited and photgraphed it many times. regards, Doug On Tue, 13 Feb 1996, Kathleen M Spencer wrote: > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > A student is looking for the location of a lake named Rac Lake that was > photographed by Ansel Adams for the mural project 1940-41.
